How to style my garden for summer SUMMER GARDEN TRENDS

TIME TO FRESHEN UP YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE

With warm days and sunny rays, there's no better time of the year to be out and about in the garden than summer. So, it's important to make your space as inviting yet functional as possible.

Landscape horticulturist and interior designer, Adam Robinson, chats us through what's currently trending in the world of garden design and easy ways to enhance your outdoor area.

Bring colourful plants into your outdoor living space.

MAKE THE MOST OF SMALL SPACES

"With the emerging trend for container and vertical gardens, even the smallest spaces can be transformed," says Adam. "A considered selection of pots and plants can immediately recharge a balcony, garden or courtyard."

For added depth and character, Adam suggests arranging pots together in different shapes and sizes.

"The idea is to play with scale," he says. "If you have a very small space, it's better to have one really large pot with amazing foliage than lots of little pots with tiny plants. If your space is large,group pots together, small, medium, and large."
